About two weeks ago, I upgraded from the latest 11-stable to the latest =
12-stable.  After that, I periodically see the network throughput come =
to a near standstill.  This FreeBSD machine is an ESXi VM with two =
interfaces.  It acts as a router.  It uses vmxnet3 interfaces for both =
LAN and WAN.  It runs ipfw with in-kernel NAT.  The LAN side uses a =
bridge with vmx0 and a tap0 L2 VPN interface.  My LAN side uses an MTU =
of 9000, and my vmx1 (WAN side) uses the default 1500.

Besides seeing massive packet loss and huge latency (~ 200 ms for on-LAN =
ping times), I know the problem has occurred because my lldpd reports:

Jul 26 15:47:03 namale lldpd[1126]: frame too short for tlv received on =
bridge0

And if I turn on ipfw verbose messages, I see tons of:

Jul 26 16:02:23 namale kernel: ipfw: pullup failed

This leads to me to believe packets are being corrupted on ingress.  =
I=E2=80=99ve applied all the recent iflib changes, but the problem =
persists. What causes it, I don=E2=80=99t know.

The only thing that changed (and yes, it=E2=80=99s a big one) is I =
upgraded to 12-stable.  Meaning, the rest of the network infra and =
topology has remained the same.  This did not happen at all in =
11-stable.

I=E2=80=99m open to suggestions.

Thanks.

Joe
